DEATH OF GEN. HAZEN.
TAKEN SICK THURSDAY HE CALMLY
PASSES AWAY LAST EVENING.
A Sufferer from Diabetes for Many Years
The Disease Aggravated by Severe
Cold-Nothing Serious Apprehend-
ed Until Yesterday.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 16.-Gen. w. b.
Hazen, chief signal officer, U. 5. A, died
in this CITY this evening. He had been
i'll since Thursday, but no danger was ap
pretended. Gen. Hazen died of diabetes
coma. He had suffered from diabetes for
many years, but of late had improved in
health and strength and hopes were enter
tanned of his complete recovery. AT a re-
ception to the diplomatic corps given by
the president he took a severe cold, caus-
ing him to keep his bed on the 14th. On
the 18th he was up and reported himself
mnch improved, saying he would go to his
Office Monday.
This morning his physician, p. +. Har-
vey, L. 5. A., was summoned to see him
soon after daylight. He at once repaired
to his rooms and found an alarming
change in his condition, suggesting pois-
onng OF the blood from his constitutional
disease. He at once adopted measures to
overcome this condition and restore
strength. Consultation was also at once
sought with Dr. ID. l.. Huntington of the
army who agreed III the main with the at
tending physician. The case was
deemed of so extreme gravity
informed and they at once gathered
about him and spared no effort to bring
him relief; some improvement resulted
from the treatment, but toward evening
his symptoms became aggravated and at
the request of his family DR.. Lincoln met
Doctors Harvey and Huntington in con
sulation. Every measure that skill or
science could suggest failed to rally the
sinking officer and he breathed his last
at 8 o'clock. His final illness was not
accompanied by suffering and his death
was calm and without a struggle.
Information of Gen. HaZen's death was
conveyed Immediately by Col. Hunting
ton and Captain Greedy to the secretary
of war, who communicated the sad in
telligence to the president, the general
of the army who was advised of his death
by telegraph will be conferred with by
Capt. Greedy in behalf of Gen. Hazen' S
family, rs to the military honors to be
paid the deceased. The funeral will take
place from st. Johns church. Mrs.
Hazen who is III France has been notified
by cable and she will return Immediately
to America

senger coach was twisted sideways of the

SIX freight cars on the side track were

noon, where the miners of the Hillside
Coal company have been on strike since
October. The company is trying to run
the mine with new men and this after

Medicines, no doubt has largely benentted the

CATHOLIC INDIGNATION


ly stand by their Deposed Priest.
New YORK, Jan. IL To day was an eX-
citing one in the history of the parish of
St. Stephens Roman Catholic church.
The news that Father Donnelly had been
appointed successor to Rev DR.. McGlynn,
the pastor brought out immense
throngs of people to church. The crowds
gathered around the doors and excitedly
declared against the rem oval of the pastor !;
the servants of the rectory We're most in-
dignant. On Father Donnelly's arrival
yesterday they refused to admit him bS
the front door and he finally gained adj
mission through the basement and
passed the night in the rectory.
So did hi. F"th en McGl Sns who oqG
the only stopping place Father Donnelly
could get from the domestics was cot
bed hastily put up in the parlor.
1t was generally understood that Father
Donnelly would announce his appoint
ment at mass to-day The 530 Il. NJ. mass
was thinly attended, Father Curran cele-
brating and Father Donnelly appeared as
celebrant at the O'Clock mass. There
was no open trouble. Father McGlynn
was present at all the morning masses,
occupying pew among the cUnnuui-
cants During one of the masses Father
DTnnelly made a tour of the church,
his new parishiOners. No one paid the
Sigh est attention to him. The collectors
refused to serve, so no collection was
taken up; the usual collection nets from
$500 to 5000.
AT noon mighty congre cation
poured out of the church, ana uulsi lie
the tumult began. On every hand in the
immense crowd We're heard eXpre~so -
of dlsupproval and of sympathy for Dr..
McGlynn. After tine the excited people
dispersed Father Jouuelly left the rectory
at 4 this afternoon and went to the arch
episcopal palace, where he remained in
conference with the archbishop tor sew
eral hours. The ChOrof boys refused to
attend services to day.
An Indignation meeting was held to-
night in the basement of the church
Every seat was well filled and the al,le~
We're packed The meeting was called tc
order by prominent member who be
sought the audience to be orderly. 1t was
announced that meeting would be he d
tomorrow night in the church for the
members and that Il mass meeting of all
the Catholics IN the city would he held at
the same time. Much excitement pre-
vailed and several speakers indig
nantly denounced the prosecutors OF

was appointed to draft resolutions TO pre-

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.--The schooner
Parallel sailed Friday for Astoria with n
cargo of general merchandise, including
100000 pounds of granite powder. Strong
head winds forced her to put back and
she reached the entrance to the Code
Gate yesterday evening. The wind had
died out, and being caught by the strong
tide the vessel wa, swept ashore at Point
Labos, opposite Cliff House. A life say
ing station is near by aud the schooner's
captain and crew were easily rescued.
After being abandoned the vessel drfted
into Il small cove, where she pounded
against the rocks, and at midnight was
rapidly breaking up
Shortly after grounding fearful eXplo
sion occurred, scattering destruction on all
sides. The schooner beating against the
rock had caused the powder to ignite and
and the entire quantity had exploded.
The signal station was completely demOl-
ished, the life saving station was wrecked
and the west side of the Cliff House not
withstanding its elevation, was blown out
and every window pane in the building
broken. Other buildings lower down
all had the windows broken and
were otherwise more or less damaged.
Adolph SuttrOsS's conservatory on the
heights above was shattered to atoms and
all the windows in his house were broken.
Three members OF the life saving crew,
who were on the beach, were hurled into
the air and severely injured The famous
CHI house presents scene beggarng
description. The west side of the build
ing overlooking the ocean is completely
ruined, being held together only by cross
beams. The building is in such a shatter
ed condition that what Is left of il will
have to be taken down if it does not topple
into the ocean.

KARL MILLER, OF HAMBURG.
Charges that Capt. Scllaack Suborned
Perjury In Walters Case.

The Arbeiter-Zeitung in CON-
menting upon the infamous and
shameless means by which the an
archists were brought to the gsllows
or into the penitentiary, produces
two affidavits, one by Pauline Bran
deis, sister of Gottfried Waller, the
anarchist who turned States eyi-
dence, the other by Anna Salomon,
a sister-in-law of Waller. Pauline
Brandois swears that Waller, during
the time which intervened between
the arrest and trial Of the anarchists,
went to the Chicago avenue sta.ion
every night at 8 O'Clock; that Capt.
Setback promised immunity to Wal
Ter if he would testify against the
anarchists, and threatened him with
the gallows should he refuse to testi-
fly; that Capt. Setback instructed
Waller what to say, and gave him
money at various times; that Waller
never did days work subsequent
to his arrest and release, and that he
was finally shipped to Germany by
the police, where he now lives, in
Hamburg, under the name of Miller.
The afliant further says that Walters
testimony was perjury from begin
ming to end.
Anna Salomon deposes that her
brother-in-law lives at present in
Hamburg under the name of Karl
Miller; that he wrote to her last
June and stated the police had ad-
vised him to adopt the false name;
that in this letter he accused the po-
lice of having induced him by threats
to give perjured testimony; that
Capt. Setback made him memorize
what to say in court; that Waller
was was paid first S. and then $40 a
week, and that Mrs. Waller was also
paid money by the police.
Waller himself has written to
friend in this city to thesame effect.
Another of the principal witnesses
for the prosecution has intimated
that retraction could be had for
his price. But it isn't worth "thir-
ty pieces of silver. "-CAieago diarm.

A BIG UNION.
The American Federation Of Labor
Convention at Baltimore.

The annual convention of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor began its ses-
sions last Tuesday at Baltimore.
With the elimination of that extreme
individualsm which has characterized
most labor organizations in the past, the
American Federation may do much to
smooth the way for the social changes
that are taking place. and which will be-
come more marked as the years roll on.
The total membership of the trades
unions represented is between three and
four hundred thousand Besides the
regular unions the bodies belonging to
the Central Labor Unions and trades
assemblies amount to as many more, ac
cording to the figures of President Com
pers, which makes the total strength of
the Federation to be between six and
seven hundred thousand.
Just imagine SO many organized men
well versed in political economy, funda
mentally honest, and with the courage
of their convictions!
